Taylor Swift and Blake Lively may never, ever be getting back together as friends.
A source exclusively told Page Six that the pop superstar has not extended a wedding invitation to the actress â despite reports suggesting the pair are working their way back to one another.
âThere hasnât been an olive branch when it comes to their friendship,â the insider said. âAnd Taylor hasnât extended a wedding invitation to Blake.â
The update comes after the Daily Mail reported that the âFortnightâ singer, 36, and the âGossip Girlâ alum, 38, had resumed contact following the fallout surrounding Livelyâs legal battle with her âIt Ends With Usâ co-star and director, Justin Baldoni.
According to the outlet, sources claimed the Grammy winner had become more receptive to speaking with Lively as the lawsuit wound down, and that the actress was optimistic about repairing their friendship.
One insider even alleged that âeveryone around Taylor is aware that Blake could attendâ the ceremony, while another claimed the actress was âslowly getting back into the fold.â
However, a source told Page Six that no invitation has been extended to Swiftâs upcoming nuptials to Travis Kelce, 36.
A source previously told Page Six that Swift âneeds spaceâ from the actress after her name was dragged into the ongoing lawsuits between Lively and Baldoni, 42.
The singer is âtaking a break from their friendship right now. Taylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn,â an insider said at the time.
âTaylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal. She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesnât appreciate being thrown into this at all.â
Reps for Swift and Lively did not immediately respond to Page Sixâs requests for comment.
Swift and Livelyâs friendship dates back to 2015 after Lively shared a photo from a LâOreal campaign, which referenced Swiftâs âBad Bloodâ music video. It caught Swiftâs attention, and the pair began spending time together.
Flash forward to May, reports surfaced that Swift had originally decided to snub Lively from the upcoming wedding ceremony following their friendship fallout over the actressâs âIt Ends With Usâ legal feud.
However, an insider told us at the time there was âa far greater chanceâ of an invite being extended to Lively now that her sexual harassment case against Baldoni is over.
